The thing about the pedantic anti snark is, it doesn't matter if you can show that the 'incorrect' usage goes back to the 17th Century, if the bulk of the educated audience you are writing for thinks that it is incorrect. You might as well use the 'correct' usage.

You should write for your audience. The only thing that's correct or incorrect is if you succeeded in communicating with the intended recipient.
